The Japan Viticulture Association (JVA) will hold a release party on Saturday, December 20, 2025 to celebrate the completion of all five JVA charity wines.
The venue is WINE SHOP nico in Shibuya.
A limited-quantity five-bottle set, priced at ¥55,000 including tax, will also be sold through the JVA official website from December 10 through December 31.
Here are the details.
What Are JVA Charity Wines?
JVA Charity Wine is a charity-wine project developed by the association.
With the cooperation of wineries across Japan, five specially vinified wines have been produced.
The wines are sold as donations supporting JVA activities that help sustain the future of grape growing in Japan, and the initiative has generated a strong response from producers, supporters and wine lovers.
The final wine in the project, “JVA Charity Wine Yamanashi,” has now been completed.
This marks the milestone of having all five JVA charity wines together for the first time.
Five-Bottle Charity Wine Set and Release Party
To celebrate completion of the full lineup, JVA will sell the five-bottle set for a limited period at ¥55,000 including tax.
The five charity wines are:
★1: Hokkaido Pinot Noir 2020
Winemaking: 10R Winery (Hokkaido)
★2: Hokuriku-Tohoku Chardonnay / Albariño 2021

JVA will also hold a release party from 19:00 on Saturday, December 20, 2025 at WINE SHOP nico Shibuya to celebrate all five wines being available together.
A public event where all five can be tasted in this combination is very rare, making it a special opportunity for JVA members and fans of Japanese wine.
The participation fee is ¥7,000 including tax, with tastings of five wines and food in a standing buffet format. Capacity is 50 people.
